Best Overall Team | |||
Lacrimosa |
Daffodill |
Sakiri |
Haniel |
Quick-swap focused. Use Daffodill to Break the enemy, then swap to Lacrimosa for big Nightmare + Discord bursts. Excellent for bosses and high-difficulty content. | |||
Passionate Combo Team | |||
Lacrimosa |
Baicang |
Daffodill |
Fadia |
Lacrimosa + Baicang have exclusive Passionate Combo synergy (extra attack, silence, super-jump, and team ATK buff). Very strong for Scorch + Discord. This one's focus is on scorch and dealing Damage over Time to enemies. | |||
Hexed Cycle Reaction Team | |||
Lacrimosa |
Sakiri |
Nanally |
Zero |
The team focused around the Hexed Cycle Reaction with Lacrimosa being largely played off field to inflict Nightmare and the Scorch Cycle Reaction to increase the damage of Hexed. | |||
